"Perhaps in a different time
I would have named us hope.
Perhaps in a different universe
we would not meet so battle worn"
And I would call us forgiveness,
And not remember us as war.

"You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
You were a miracle I was just holding your space
Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own"

Memory
you really are beautiful
you are joy
light in your eyes
swollen and whole
Nature suits you
a branch in lieu of a jacket
a stream replaces a tie
open expanse of green at your fingertips
under your feet
your dancing feet

How Calico Cats Could Help Cure Obesity
“Calico cats, with their funky mix of orange, black and white fur, could one day help humans to lose weight.
Couch potato kitties hardly seem suited to the task, but the connection comes from their unique chromosome structure, according to research presented today at the 58th Annual Biophysical Society Meeting in San Francisco.
Elizabeth Smith of the University of California San Francisco and her colleagues explain that calico cats have an orange fur color gene on one of their X chromosomes and a black fur color gene on the other, so that the random silencing of one of the X’s in each cell creates their distinctive patchwork coats.”
